Iran’s Foreign Ministry on Sunday condemned US military attacks on Iran over the previous 24 hours, accusing Washington of violating international law and warning neighboring countries not to assist any military action against the country, APA reports citing CNN.
The ministry’s remarks came before the US Central Command announced fresh strikes against Iran.
“Only 25 days after the signing of the agreement to end the war, the United States has openly violated nearly all parts of that agreement. By attacking Iran’s transportation infrastructure, fishing vessels, cargo barges, and meteorological facilities and buildings, the US has committed some of the most heinous acts of war crimes,” the ministry said in a statement.
It further alleged that the US military had used the territory and facilities of countries along the southern coast of the Persian Gulf to carry out attacks on Iran, and warned that any source of attacks against Iran would be considered a legitimate target for what it called“defensive strikes” by Iranian armed forces.
The ministry called on the United Nations and the Security Council to hold “the aggressor parties and those who aided and facilitated them accountable.”
